Mike Wilbon Calls Ovechkin Pathetic, Tony Dubs Caps "Choking Dogs"

DC Sports Nexus ---- Tuesday, May 14, 2013

Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon talked about Alexander Ovechkin on Tuesday following the Caps game 7 loss to the New York Rangers. They discussed how Ovechkin was complaining about no penalties in game 6 and Ovi's conspiracy theory. Here is what Wilbon had to say:

"I was in Chicago in the United Center watching Bulls/Miami last night and I get a tweet with the score, a picture of the scoreboard when it was 3 nothing, and I'm like Ok, the Washington Capitals have choked like few other NHL franchises have choked over a period of 30 years, But I don't even believe this, this photo is doctored, I couldn't believe that. When you go out like this, you have to SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!"

"His history is the same history, whether we're talking about Olympic competition, international competition, same thing, where he comes up so short and then just offers excuse after excuse afterwards. I don't know who's more pathetic, Ovechkin or your boy Sergio Garcia at this point."

The Origins Of This Blog: Prior to this season I had only watched a handful of hockey games. I never really liked watching hockey and I pretty much hated the NHL. Coming in I knew the basics of the game from playing NHL '94 back in the day, but wasn't really aware of how the game really worked. I didn't know half the penalties, I didn't know that a few teams existed or didn't exist, and I was easily frustrated by many things that happened in the NHL. (Icing, Trapezoids, Biscuits, Twigs, Blue Jackets, Plus/Minus, Goons...AHHHH) However, when my beloved NBA was in danger of being locked out for an entire season, that was my cue to force myself to watch something that I previously semi-despised. That brings us to today. I am now a die hard Capitals fan...I now know a bit about hockey...but I still have a long way to go.
